    I am doing Stronglifts and training for a 10K. I eat back all my exercise calories and am trying to increase my protein intake. Also looking for friends with similar goals so anyone can add me. :smile:

    Yo, signing on up for strong, proud lady friends! :) I weight train (as heavy as I can go), I pole (amazing for strength!) and I eat. Usually anywhere between 1900-2500 calories a day. I also don't believe in "bad" foods. Yeah, I'm one of them....

    Come play - I have some really good friends but am always looking for supportive friends with similar philosophies!
    In looking at your pic (former poler) I really miss it; I need to get back at it to see what poses I can still do. Are you taking lessons anywhere? Self taught? I took lessons for a couple years, but it started to become way to costly. I have one. In my garage, going to make it a point to get back on the saddle this week and see what poses I still have down.

    I eat 1600 a day, weight train 2-3x a week, do spin class 2-3x a week, and walk on off days. I generally do a cheat meal or cheat day about once a week. I'm down 19lbs, with another 20 or 30 to go. I've been here since March, but I've finally decided I need some friends on here to keep me motivated.

    I love to eat! I tried being at 1400 calories and I was always hungry so I upped my daily goal to 1650. When I look at other people's diaries and they're at 1200 calories it boggles my mind how they're not starving! I do cardio and strength train 4-5 times a week. Anyone can add me!

    I eat food. Food is good. Absence of food makes me sad.
    I also strength train, typically 4 or 5x per week. Also short runs 3-4x per week (but not this week because I'm on vacation so lifted 3x and ran 2x....also kayaked, swam, and did a bunch of other fun-not-serious-hand-me-a-beer-when-I'm-done stuff).

    I have started weight training and eat more than I should, I'd like to learn how to eat right when weight training. I am interested in toning and bettering how my body looks not really interested in loosing weight. Would love to learn from everyone here and get/offer support, would love to be added/included!

    Sending a request to everyone in the thread. Friend me also!

    I've been doing P90X3 and decided to switch to compound lifts. I designed a modified stronglifts-type workout based on what I have (Select Techs) and added some bodyweight exercises that I wanted to work on (pull-ups, planks, etc). I'm also a runner so I need my calories!

    I'm also shifting to maintenance soon which means more food, woot!

    Add me, I'm new to this site, trying to figure out how many calories I should be eating for a 53 y.o. I go to gym every morning, just started strength training, not fond of cardio, can only do about 5 min. Going to try for 15min before lifting then another 15 after weights, that will give me at 30min. Someone said that 1200 cal is too low, so I figured around 1400 or 1500? Can anyone help me with this?

    A lot of the weight lifters I know use scooby for calorie recommendations: http://scoobysworkshop.com/calorie-calculator/

    I'm a very newbie lifter and I am doing a couch to 5k program too. Still have a bunch of weight to lose so I typically eat between 1500-1800 in a day depending on how active I am. I don't have any off limits foods, I love food too much, and I aim for 30% protein. Anyone in this thread can feel free to friend me :) I log every day, and while I'm not a super cheerleader I do comment when I can!

    I take an hour of lessons every week at the moment, looking to increase that - did two hours this week and I ACHE lol! :laugh: you're right though, it's so costly - I'm hoping to get to the point where I can either apprentice to train others or have a pole of my own and only go to lessons once a week or whatever to keep sharp!

    Oh, let me know how it goes! I hope you have retained your pole sass xD

    1900 - I eat all the foodz as long as it fits (and um.. sometimes when it doesn't :laugh: ) I cook most my own food and I make my own ice cream... and I have chocolate everyday! :smile: my diary is open.

    Also just a side note. I am not trying to get a large friend list, I like to really know and keep up with my friends.

    Edited: because I forgot to mention I lift all the weights too!!!

    Feel free to add me. I run, walk, and bike. Starting to do strength training at home (don't have access to a gym) nothing serious, just basic stuff (squats, planks, push ups, crunches etc...)

    Oh yeah...love to eat! mfp says I should only eat 1430 per day to lose weight, so I exercise so I can eat more :happy:
